Publisher's Synopsis
This book provides guidance to project managers early in their careers from a seasoned project management and construction management executive. Roy Davis takes readers through his 30+ year history, learning the ropes and making mistakes (often in a way that is entertaining to reflect upon) with the hope of helping the next generation to avoid the pitfalls he encountered and more easily navigate the necessary evil of company politics.Essential reading for those who are moving beyond the nuts and bolts of Gantt charts and PMP prep and want to know what the real rough-and-tumble world of large-scale project management is all about, this book takes you through the phases of maturity from choosing and starting in a project management career through youth, adulthood and maturity in the profession.
